Default Centering Histogrm Peaks

Both my Canon S3 and SX 60 have 5 1/16 inch Vertical Bars in their Histogram Boxes.
My idea here is to Center my Histogram Peaks in the Center of the Histogram Boxes as I take the image - not setting the Histogram ahead of taking the image. This can be done using my Cam EV and Flash EV Settings as well as a change in ISO - if that is needed.
All images here are done on Program Mode - ISO Auto on an S3.
This person image has a Cam EV of Plus 2/3 and Flash EV of "0" and Histogram Peaks in Bars 2 and 3.

The first color strip image has the exact same settings as the person image, Histogram Peak in Bar 4.

The second color strip image has a setting of Flash EV at Plus 1/3 and Cam EV at "0", Histogram Peak in Bar 4.
